Flat to rent 6+1 • 290 m² without real estate, Baden-Württemberg

Living as if in your own home: A spacious maisonette with an abundant garden area, garage, and parking space.

This estate, created by an architect for himself and his family, stands out significantly from the usual sameness with its unconventional yet masterfully executed architecture. Beneath a mighty gabled roof visually divided into two halves by a continuous band of glass, you’ll find a residential landscape whose ambience captivates everyone.

Constructed in 1978/79 on a 1,006 m² plot of land, the architectural concept is based on a timber frame structure, with the exposed glued laminated timber beams deliberately left visible throughout the house. Wherever possible, building-ecological materials were used throughout the home. The high standards of the architecture continue in a level of outfitting that leaves nothing to be desired, even for the most demanding tastes. Among the many details, the following are noteworthy:

• Travertine flooring throughout the ground floor (with underfloor heating) as well as most of the basement.

• An open fireplace made of sandstone.

• Sanitary areas partially finished in Carrara marble with integrated furniture.

• A high-quality fitted kitchen by Plana, equipped with all necessary electrical appliances.

• Numerous built-in cupboards and fittings (including Hewi fittings on the doors), etc.

In the outdoor area, there are several terraces, a secluded outdoor whirlpool, and a charmingly landscaped garden featuring valuable ornamental shrubs and a large wetland biotope, which is crossed by a footbridge. All of these areas are shielded from outside view.

On the south side of the roof, there is a solar installation with a capacity of 10 kWp; the building is provided with hot water and heating via a heat pump connected to geothermal loops.

Only 12 km in a straight line from Stuttgart’s Schloßplatz, the community of Aichwald lies on a hill above the Remstal at an altitude of 470 m. In recent years, Aichwald has developed into an exclusive residential area. Here, the proximity to the big city and the lifestyle in nature—which holds an increasingly appreciated value in our time—combine in an ideal manner: The house is surrounded by fields, orchards, forests, and vineyards, and a large equestrian center is located only 800 m away. Yet Stuttgart and the nearby town centers of Esslingen and Waiblingen can be reached quickly. Excellent bus connections serve all kindergartens and schools up to high school, and S-Bahn stations are available in both Esslingen and Weinstadt-Endersbach.

Belonging to the main apartment is a bedroom/fireplace room with an open sandstone fireplace (connected to the ground floor via a gallery) measuring 60 m², a window wall leading to the west terrace (DIN 1/4) of 3.0 m² with an outdoor whirlpool, and a main bathroom/wellness area (with Carrara marble flooring and wall-to-ceiling tiling) of 25.6 m². This area includes a Klaf sauna, a walk-in shower (1.4 m x 1.2 m) equipped with a Grohe shower column, a granite washbasin (170 x 76 cm) with two sinks, an undercounter cabinet, and two side cabinets.

On the ground floor, there is an open kitchen with dining room (49 m², which can be separated by a sliding door), a living room (48 m²), and a piano room (15.3 m², also separable by a sliding door), as well as a utility room (10.8 m²), a utility terrace (DIN 1/4) of 3.0 m², an entrance hall/cloakroom (13.0 m²), one room of 16.3 m², another room of 16.6 m², a corridor (2.3 m²), a small bathroom (4.4 m²), a conservatory (20 m²), a guest WC (1.5 m²), and a terrace (56 m²).
